We have one MAC running OS 10.3 and everytime it accesses
a file on our windows 2000 network share it creates
a ._filename.ext. These files seem to accumulate and
never go away. We can delete them, but I would hope that
there is a way to prevent the files from even being
created. Any ideas out there?
